First symptoms of mystery illness that killed 50 people within hours revealed

An unknown illness has killed more than 50 people within hours of the onset of their symptoms in northwestern Congo over the past five weeks, according to the World Health Organization.

Some 419 cases have been recorded including 53 deaths since the disease was first discovered in three children who ate a bat in the Democratic Republic of Congo on January 21.

Doctors on the ground say the interval between the onset of symptoms – which include fever, vomiting and internal bleeding – and death has been 48 hours in most cases. “That’s what’s really worrying,” said Serge Ngalebato, medical director of Bikoro Hospital, a regional monitoring center.

These “hemorrhagic fever” symptoms are commonly linked to known deadly viruses, such as Ebola, dengue, Marburg and yellow fever, but researchers have ruled these out based on tests of more than a dozen samples collected so far. The outbreak began in the town of Boloko after three children ate a bat and died within 48 hours following hemorrhagic fever symptoms, the Africa office of the World Health Organization said Monday.
